Musk, musk. It was not found in the palace when Wen Shichu came to check on our pulse every day. It was only available when we came to the Old Summer Palace. Now that Shichu is not here, we can only rely on ourselves.

You guys take a closer look first, see if there is anything wrong. Cui Jinxi and the others went down with suspicious faces, leaving Zhen Huan alone in the palace. She clenched her fingers tightly, and she didn't feel any pain even when her nails dug into her palms.

Cui Jinxi and her companions returned to the palace in less than half an incense stick of time. Zhen Huan looked up and saw Cui Jinxi holding a familiar box in her hand.

His eyes moved. Is this it? Cui Jinxi did not open the box and handed it over. She just said, "I don't know if it is this, but I just checked the things that the young lady has used in recent days. Only this one has a fragrance, so I brought it here."

Zhen Huan wanted to reach out and take it, but she retracted her hand when she thought of the musk. She asked, "This box looks familiar, what is it?"

Cui Jinxi loosened her grip on the box, and a look of worry appeared on her face. "My lady, this was brought to Su Hexiang by the emperor a few days ago."

Cui Jinxi's words startled Zhen Huan so much that she dropped the fan in her hand. Her voice trembled slightly, "Su Hexiang, this is impossible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhen Huan's expression changed. Now her heart and eyes were still full of the emperor, and she would definitely not believe that the emperor would harm her.

I frowned slightly, thinking that the emperor must have been used by someone to harm me. What the young master said was that if this item had musk.

The person behind the scenes who can secretly take advantage of the imperial gift without the emperor's knowledge must be very powerful. My lady, should I report this to the emperor?

Zhen Huan thought about it and shook her head. She said, "Let's not report it to the emperor yet. We are not sure if it is Su Hexiang's problem. If we invite the emperor with great fanfare, it will be this thing that is wrong in the end."

It's not that I left a bad impression on the emperor, it's just a pity that I am not on good terms with Concubine Shu. I could ask Imperial Doctor Luo for help, and I wouldn't be so passive.

As soon as Zhen Huan finished speaking, Huanbi beside her said anxiously: My lady, why can't we ask another imperial physician to come?

After hearing this, Zhen Huan frowned slightly, but thinking of Huanbi's identity, she suppressed her impatience. Didn't Jingxi say that the person behind the scenes is so powerful, how can you know that the doctor has not been bribed by her? Now, apart from Doctor Wen, there is only Sister Mei left.

Doctor Luo has been protecting Concubine Shu's pregnancy for a long time, and he is someone she can trust. I really can't think of anyone else she can trust except him?

Cui Jinxi is very thorough and careful in her work. My lady, the musk was discovered in Rugu Hanjin. Didn’t Xiao Shi say that Concubine Shen and Concubine Shu were together?

How about I go over there, for the sake of Concubine Shen's face? I'm sure Concubine Shu won't be embarrassed, and ask Imperial Doctor Luo to help see if it's Su Hexiang's problem.

If it was Su Hexiang's problem, the young lady should still consult a doctor in advance. If something went wrong, it would be too late to regret it.

Zhen Huan didn't want to pay attention to Cui Jinxi's words at first, but the last sentence "It will be too late to regret then" made Zhen Huan turn pale.

Zhen Huan knew that she and Concubine Shu did not have a very good relationship, and it would not be a good idea for her to ask the imperial physician to come to Bitong Academy, as this would easily attract attention.

After thinking about it, he said, Jinxi, you should take Su Hexiang to Ruguhanjin to ask Doctor Luo to see if there is really a problem.

Cui Jinxi said with a worried look, "My lady, why don't you ask Doctor Luo to help you check your pulse?" Zhen Huan sighed, "I have used this incense for several days. Even if there is any problem, it is a foregone conclusion."

It cannot be changed. Let's first confirm whether there is a problem with this! Cui Jinxi had no choice but to nod and beg, "Yes, I will go."

After all, Jingxi is someone we need help with. You should just tell Concubine Shu that you can rest assured, my lady. Cui Jingxi responded and left. Only Huanbi and Liuzhu were left in the palace to accompany Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan slapped the table in anger. I didn't harm anyone, but others came to harm me, and through the emperor's hand. Are they trying to alienate us?

Liu Zhu stepped forward and took Zhen Huan's hand, saying, "My lady, your health is the most important thing. I'm sure your hand will be hurt by slapping it like that. We, the servants, will feel bad for you."

Zhen Huan gnashed her teeth and showed hatred? This made Liu Zhu feel even more distressed. Liu Zhu was very loyal, but she was not good at persuading people.

Seeing Zhen Huan like this, she didn't know how to persuade her for a moment. Huanbi stepped forward, a fierce look flashed across her face, and said, "My lady, others are using the emperor's hand to bully us."

If I remain silent, the other party will only become more aggressive. If it is really a question of how fragrant it is, and something given by the emperor himself has been tampered with, I believe the emperor will not sit idly by.

Zhen Huan understood this truth, but she had been avoiding favors since she entered the palace, never standing in the way of others, but now she was being plotted against. Does the harem have to be full of calculations?

Even so, why would he plot against me? Zhen Huan thought for a long time and sighed. Huanbi, Liuzhu, who do you think was the one who got this musk?

After hearing this, Huanbi said, "My lady, Concubine Hua has the power to assist in managing the harem. She has the right to interfere with the things bestowed by the emperor. She has never liked you. Could it be her?"

"Hua Fei," Zhen Huan muttered to herself, and asked again, "Where is Xiao Yunzi? My lady, Xiao Yunzi is outside, should we call him in?"

I remember that Xiao Yunzi's brother works in Sizhiku. Go out and ask him if he can contact Doctor Wen secretly? Jinxi is right. I still need to see the doctor to feel at ease about my health.

Huanbi responded and went out. Zhen Huan said to Liuzhu again: "Please pour me a glass of water. I'm tired and want to take a rest."

Ru Gu Han Jin

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were sitting on the couch, each holding a bowl of Tremella fuciformis and red dates porridge and drinking it. When they turned around, they saw Caiyue walking in. My two young ladies, Jinxi from Concubine Wan is here.

When she said she wanted to see Concubine Shu for something important, An Lingrong's eyes turned slightly, and then she opened her mouth and asked, "Did Caiyue Jinxi have anything in her hand?"

My lady, how do you know? I saw that Jinxi seemed to be holding a box in her hand. It looked like the box usually used to hold rouge and powder, but the colors were much more beautiful.

Sister Mei, do you have any guesses about Jinxi's intentions?

Shen Meizhuang said with a melancholy look on her face, "Maybe Huan'er found something with a smell around her, and there's no trustworthy imperial physician around her, so she came to you for help."

An Lingrong had someone tell Zhen Huan about this because she had her own plan. Zhen Huan was smart. As long as she could find something suspicious, she would bring trouble to the person behind the scenes, and her situation would be slightly relieved.

After hearing this, An Lingrong smiled and nodded. "Mrs. Wan is someone my sister has praised since childhood. How could I refuse such a small matter? But now neither of us can touch that thing, Lian'er."

I'm here, Lian'er is pushing the door open, is Doctor Luo here? My lady, Concubine Shen is pregnant, Doctor Luo followed my lady's instructions and is personally making medicine for Concubine Shen in the small kitchen!

Let Doctor Luo go see Cui Jinxi and check if there is anything wrong with the things she brought!

Lian'er replied: I'll go right away. After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Rong'er, why didn't you tell me that Doctor Luo was making medicine to protect the pregnancy?

You are so thoughtful that I don't know what to say! My sister said, didn't we agree on this?

Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Rong'er, it's a good thing I have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do?"

The two people in the hall were deeply moved by what they said. Outside, Cui Jinxi squeezed the box in her hand, waiting anxiously.

Fortunately, Lian'er didn't let her wait too long, and brought Doctor Luo over from the small kitchen. Jinxi, this is Doctor Luo. Cui Jinxi heard the voice, turned around and knelt down, "Hello, Doctor Luo."

Luo Rui waved his hand, and Lian'er continued, "Doctor Luo, Jinxi is someone close to Concubine Wan. She wants you to help see if there is any problem?"

Miss Lian'er is right. We will have to trouble Doctor Luo again today, Cui Jinxi said politely.

Luo Rui waved his hand and said, "You two are polite, but I just don't know what it is?"

After hearing this, Cui Jinxi hurriedly took out the box in her hand and handed it to Doctor Luo. Doctor Luo, this is it. My young lady has just got some incense. She feels uncomfortable after using it. Please take a look. Is there any problem?

After saying that, Cui Jinxi glanced at Lian'er with a slight smile on her face. Lian'er looked at her and knelt down to Doctor Luo. The doctor was busy first. The pregnancy-preserving medicine for my young master in the small kitchen must be taken care of by others.

I will go and take a look. Doctor Luo will come back after he finishes his work. Lian'er retreated. Luo Ruichai took the box from Jinxi and was suddenly startled as soon as he opened it. He then looked at it carefully and smelled it.

His expression became even uglier, and he closed the lid with a click. Doctor Luo said in a calm voice, "Aunt, I wonder where did you get this thing from?"

When Cui Jinxi saw Doctor Luo asking this, she knew there was something wrong with this thing! Of course, she couldn't say that this was a gift from the emperor, so she just replied, "This is the incense that my young master got by chance."

I wonder what's the problem? This box of incense is mixed with musk, and the amount is huge. Luo Rui's words made Cui Jinxi's face change. Sure enough, there is something wrong with this thing!

Cui Jinxi took the box from Luo Rui again, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Doctor Luo. In this case, my young lady can no longer use this thing."

What my aunt said was that if Lady Wan had used this thing, she should have asked the imperial physician to take a look as soon as possible. But in my opinion, this thing was not used much. And even if it was applied on the face, I think it would not have a big effect.

Yes! Thank you, Doctor Luo. Cui Jinxi stuffed a purse into Luo Rui’s pocket and said, “This is a little gift from my young master. Please accept it, Doctor Luo.” Then she took the box and left.

Cui Jinxi had no intention of staying and hurried away with the box. Luo Rui sighed, shook his head and walked towards the small kitchen.

Cui Jinxi had just confirmed that there was something wrong with Su Hexiang, but before she could report it to Zhen Huan, the time for the evening palace banquet was about to arrive. Perhaps it was Cui Jinxi's heavy expression that made Zhen Huan more certain that there was something wrong with Su Hexiang.

Today, Zhen Huan asked her to accompany her. The master and servant were walking on the road. Zhen Huan had a worried look on her face. She held Cui Jinxi's hand tightly and asked, "Jinxi, do you think Concubine Hua really wants to harm me?"

Cui Jinxi is a cautious person and will not express his opinion unless it is certain.

I can only say: My lady, who is behind this? I can't make random guesses, but it has already happened, and I don't think the emperor will sit idly by.

The most important thing now is the young lady's health. I believe that the nanny who guides you also told me what the most important thing is in the harem!

Jinxi, I understand what you mean, but Doctor Wen is not here right now, and I can’t find a reliable doctor to help diagnose your pulse!

My dear, since Concubine Shu could get someone close to Concubine Shen to report the news, I think she has no bad intentions towards you. Why don't you go to Ruguhan to ask Doctor Luo for help?

Shu Guiren is not Meimei's sister. I have never been on good terms with her since I entered the palace. When I passed by her this morning, she was almost harmed by the musk on my body.

Although it was not my original intention, it is not nice to say it. If I look for her again, she will not treat me sincerely. I think sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. Although the young lady did not have much contact with Shu Guiren.

But there is Concubine Shen to mediate. Seeing that Concubine Shu is so kind, she will not refuse too much. Concubine Shu is pregnant. Otherwise, I will go and find out about the pregnant woman's preferences. This way, the ladies can sit down and have something to talk about.

Cui Jinxi has placed her entire life on Zhen Huan, and she doesn't want to see her so decadent. Naturally, she wants Zhen Huan to get back on her feet as soon as possible and have a child, so that a good mother can be honored by having a child.

When Zhen Huan heard Cui Jinxi doing this for her own good, she felt warm in her heart. Unable to resist the temptation of the child, Zhen Huan said: "I'll listen to you, in that case, I'll do as you say!"

Cui Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief. If the young lady agrees, I will go and inquire about it after the palace banquet!
